Re: 56 year old ballet won an international award
- Wang Yumei in the eyes of the dance friend in red
I am 59 years old, the oldest of the old ballet team. I enjoyed a ballet performance when I was a child, but I didn't have a chance to practice when I was young. I retired to be a "ballet dream" when I was a young man, and this "ballet dream" was a red gang. I taught her in red with pain and hands, and I learned from her to persist. When I first started ballet, my feet were swollen, my knees were often black and blue, and I could walk all the way down. Now I can wear ballet shoes to perform on stage.
reporter in life more than the red "sunset" people will be more red
2009, I interviewed aunt too red, for the next two years, in addition to the new year's blessing of the short message, we are not much in contact with each other. She always thought she would not jump, but in fact, she was still jumping on her own ballet, and her injuries could not stop her enthusiasm and perseverance.
go to Aunt Red's home, knowing that her family is more comfortable than most people, but she is like a child with dreams, always trying to dream in return. Her dreams are all related to Ballet: old ballet players are better than her, one day they go to the stage of Spring Festival Gala, and more elderly people participate in ballet.
teaches class when red is a serious and almost harsh teacher; before the performance, red is the most hard - trained actor; in the performance, red is the most attractive "Princess" on the stage; after going home, red is a ballet obsession with a ladder when watching TV.
in the interview, Auntie red is a simple or even simple person. Maybe ballet fills all her life, and some other fashionable topics often appear cold. In her body, the words of perseverance, hard work, struggle, and bravery are thin, as she said, "it is like in the bone, there is no reason."
no reason, only because of love. At the age of 56, Yu hung on day by day, persisted, enjoyed and enjoyed. After watching her training, teaching and acting, people who know nothing about dance will also love this "painful art".
but many people do not dare to change their position: if they get to this age, will they have this determination, perseverance, and spirit to jump? Most people may choose to give up. Some of her regrets are that she is still a little lonely. Ballet is also an art class. In addition to the sun 100 community art group, in addition to the elderly ballet team of 20 old sisters, in addition to some friends who know her, not too many old people like ballet, and even go to practice. This also allowed the red performance to attract a lot of exclamations and applause, but failed to achieve her dream of "ballet".
with the advent of the aging society, how to make the life of the elderly richer and better is a matter of great concern.
in "aunt ballet" on red, we see the life of the elderly can be better, because a lot of art forms are without age boundaries. The elderly can go to the relaxing social dance, can play the slower Taichi, or sing the songs sung at a young age. Of course, you can also go to a difficult ballet, or to dance a rhythmic street dance, to practice Italy sound, and to sing a popular song now...
art has no age limit, and the life of the elderly can have more choices.
